Package: linux-wlan-ng
Version: 0.2.0-12
Severity: important
The U.S.Robotics Wireless PC Card USR022410 does not work with the Debian
version of linux-wlan-ng-0.2.0. The reason seems quite simple: The support
has been explicitly commented out in /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf:
line 53:
# This one is commented out since it matches the common lucent/orinoco
# card.
#card "Intersil PRISM2 Reference Design 11Mb/s WLAN Card"
# manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
# bind "prism2_cs"
If these lines are uncommented, everything works fine.
By the way: The orinoco driver of the 2.4.23 kernel does not fully support this
card. It claims that its firmware is too old for WEP (which is simply not true).
For this reason, the support by linux-wlan-ng for this card is essential.
Furthermore, it would be nice to give an example in the documentation on how to
set
up WEP encryption using the /etc/network/interfaces mechanism, especially as
it seems necessary to set both options, "wireless_enc on" as well as
"wlan_ng_hostwep true". Something like this would probably do the trick:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_mode managed
wireless_nick nick
wireless_essid essid
wireless_enc on
wlan_ng_hostwep true
wlan_ng_default_key_id 0
wlan_ng_authtype opensystem
wlan_ng_key0 01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0A:0B:0C:0D
wlan_ng_key1 11:12:13:14:15:16:17:18:19:1A:1B:1C:1D
wlan_ng_key2 21:22:23:24:25:26:27:28:29:2A:2B:2C:2D
wlan_ng_key3 31:32:33:34:35:36:37:38:39:3A:3B:3C:3D

I cannot see this being commented out in any version I can find, so it
must have been fixed a long time ago and I'll close this bug.
